Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow an overall NW-SE trend of mineralization. Over 17,700m of drilling have been completed to date. Significant historical results are highlighted below:

- 0.73g/t Au over 40m
- 0.75g/t Au over 61m
- 17.3g/t Au over 1.5m
- 5.27g/t Au over 3m
- 53.47g/t Au & 53.4g/t Ag over 16m
- 9.64g/t Au over 13m
- 10.6g/t Au & 37.8g/t Ag over 9m
- 2,650m of surface and trench channel sampling. Highlights include:
- 55g/t Au over 3m
